Description
Build plans for a 6ft x 8ft (1800 x 2400mm) sturdy barn style greenhouse-potting shed with a roof vent.
The plans are for a very solid gambrel roof structure made out of 2×4 (50x100mm) framing covered with a mixture of greenhouse film and solid wall and boasting a two piece stable door.
The plans include a design for a Dutch door (stable door or half door) which is is a door split in the middle to allow the top half to open while the bottom half remains shut.
The downloadable PDF file contains 35 pages of plan drawings, pictures, materials and cutting detail, a step-by-step construction guide, and some helpful information.
In essence the project is an awesome designed frame covered with greenhouse film and wall boards, and incorporating a stable (half) door and a roof vent.
